Falls in institutional investment of residential

According to data collected by law firm, EMW, institutional investors are putting less money into UK residential property than at any time in the last seven years. The data reports that the total money invested by pension funds and endowments in UK residential property in 2012 was just £495 million. This figure is down 31 per cent from the £719 million recorded in 2011, and is less than a quarter of what was invested in the sector back in 2010, when £2.2 billion was invested according to the figures EMW extracted from the HMRC.
